Frustrating Emotions

[Knight’s POV]

I stare at Tatiana, trying to control the urge I feel to grab her, pull her against me, and not let her get away. But I ignore it. Who the fuck was I to force her to stay?

“Stop playing with my heart,” she continues. “You’ve made it clear that you have no intention of being with me, so stop haunting me!”

With that, she turns and makes her way back into the compound while I continue to simply watch.

Once she was gone, I let out a snarl of frustration and punch the trunk of the tree I had just been lounging in. Pain shoots up my arm and zips through my body, clearing away the discomfort that I’m feeling in my chest, but the hollow feeling remains.

“Fuck,” I hiss, running a hand through my hair. “What the fuck am I doing?”

I needed to get my shit together. This all had to be that bastard Massimo’s fault for what he said. He was the one who provoked me and left me feeling out of control. I needed to quickly take back my pack so that I could get away and not have to deal wit
